““After interrogating its witness, Martin, at some length the State requested and, over the defendant’s objection, received permission to ask leading questions of him as a hostile witness. Ind.R.Tr.P. 43(B) authorizes interrogation of a hostile witness by leading questions and a trial judge’s determination of the propriety of such questions is reviewable only for clear error. Shipman v. State, (1962) 243 Ind. 245 , 183 N.E.2d 823 . The witness had previously disclosed that the defendant was a good friend, that he would like to see the defendant found innocent, and that he was ‘pretty much’ on the defendant’s side. In view of these disclosures, we see no error in the trial judge’s ruling.””
